I think there's something melancholically attractive about old wooden boats slowly returning to the soil.
So is it any different to an old mattress in someone's front garden, or an old fridge slowly rusting away? Because in the same way that boats are tied to the rivers, fridges & mattresses are part of the houses from where they are discarded.
There cannot be anything much more melancholy than a street full of gardens full of old bangers, Tvs, freezers & bedsteads. Just a modern land lubbers version of Pin Mill really.

Assuming melancholy is what turns you on, of course :rolleyes: :giggle:

Yes, it's completely different.

I can't explain why it's attractive. Perhaps there's a certain honesty about it, the circle of life.

Cats make a house smell, so what they do to a boat is anybodies guess. :eek:
They only make houses smell if the owner doesn't train them and keep their litter box clean. Both my daughters have kept cats (one still does) and their homes don't smell!

However, if the owner doesn't keep on top of things, the stench can be unbelievable. I once entered the house of a lady with many problems, and the cat stink nearly knocked me over.

Dunno what

I disagree with that statement, cats are super clean.
In my working life I have been in something like 15000 & 18000 houses. One could always tell if they had cats. The owners get so used to it they they do not realise that there is a smell. Some really stink of cat food, litter trays etc. They wipe their faces on corners of the walls - after a while dirty marks appear where they do it. It all adds up.
My wife has had 3 cats & they have been great pets to her. But whilst I was sad to see the last one go, I was glad to have no more cat hairs to constantly pick up & have a house that smelled fresh again..

More to do with the owners than the animal :)
